23.01.2022 How many people can relate to any of these feelings? I like to call it wobbliness. Technical I know. I know I feel a whole lot more stable when I am making sure I prioritize getting a bit of fermented food in my daily intake. How about the gut brain connection? Ever given it much thought? Curious to learn more? Maybe Ill see you at Amandas Gut Health workshop in Emerald this Saturday or in Clermont in August. ... Following on from Amandas awesome workshops, Ill will also be offering a hands on workshops in August and September so you can learn how to create your own ferments at home. Let me know if you need more information. Links in the comments. Always follow your Gut!! Petrina xx

23.01.2022 What a wonderful weekend. I had the absolute pleasure of joining Amanda at her Gut Health workshop in Emerald on Saturday. Ive sat in on a few of these events now and I collect gems of information every single time! These sessions are jam packing with information and Amanda knows her stuff!! I was humbled and grateful to be invited along again as a guest speaker. It was wonderful to see so many people taking the opportunity to get themselves EMPOWERED and learn about G...ut Health! And many attendees took home sauerkraut to get them going on their healing journey. Chuffed!! I enjoyed meeting a wonderful bunch of people and looking very much forward to doing it all again in Clermont in a fortnight!! See you in Clermont on 15th August!!! If you couldnt make Emerald, I can highly recommend trying to get along to Clermont. You wont be disappointed!! It will sell out for sure!!

22.01.2022 I know I’ve been exceptionally quiet on the Chop front. I’ve had a massive spotlight put on my life for the last few months. It’s been huge! Looking forward to lots of exciting things in 2021 though. Bring it on. If you have sons or know anyone with.... jump onto this event!!

22.01.2022 WHAT - 300 likes on my humble little page.

22.01.2022 Took a leisurely moment this morning amidst the excitement of presenting my class today. I immersed myself in a mindful breakfast eating what Im teaching today in every sense. This is my all time favorite (& easy way) to consume ferments. Sauerkraut & poached eggs on sourdough with a tonne of cracker pepper. Love days that start with this. Oh thats right - when you learn to make your own, you can start everyday like this if you want. (Or my dedicated & loyal kraut cust...omers - you can just keep buying it if you dont want to make it ). Happy Sunday!!

21.01.2022 I just love hearing from fellow Gut Lovers sharing how they are enjoying their ferments. Just want to let you know we are thoroughly enjoying the krauts!! My fav brunch : ... Sourdough with avocado, sprouts, fried egg and curry kraut!

18.01.2022 Anyone not got their ticket yet? This will certainly be a sell out yet again! Amanda has so many gold nuggets of information!! I’ve sat in on this presentation 4+ times now & I learn something new every single time! ... Hope to see you there!!!! Xx

18.01.2022 Still places available for this Friday evening! Come along and learn how to create beautiful fermented food, and connect with like minded people! https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/emerald-chop-share-tickets-... xx

18.01.2022 Moranbah Friends - Now is your chance to get your hands on some Sauerkraut. PM the awesome Carly Bayliss to secure your jar of bubbling goodness. For those who grab a jar from Carly.... these wild ferments are alive. Heres a few tips & FAQ:... Take care when opening incase there is still some bubbling action. They are about 3 weeks into the fermentation so the main active stage is over. Youll find a vege cap on top. This is designed to keep the oxygen off your sauerkraut. I generally keep it & pop it back on as you are consuming your jar. It just helps protect your Veges from any nasty airborne bacteria. Have a taste - if you like the flavour now, pop into the fridge. Refrigeration will slow the fermentation down. If you would like them a bit more tangy - keep on the bench a bit longer (for up to 2 months out of direct sunlight). Eat a rainbow.... this refers also to probiotics - there will be various strands of probiotics that are more prolific at different stages of the ferment so aim for several different aged ferments & other fermented foods/drinks for a well rounded rainbow for beneficial gut health. Add a spoonful a day and work up towards a spoonful in each meal. I love kraut on my poached eggs, a top a salad at lunch & as a condiment at dinner (and mostly on a ploughmans platter at happy hour). The curry kraut is delightful on a whole roasted sweet potato with a blob of cashew or sour cream. Yum!! When heated, the probiotic availability reduces significantly or is diminished. Use clean utensils for serving & reseal as soon as possible to reduce possible contamination. Once refrigerated, and if kept uncontaminated, due to the naturally occurring preservatives, these can last for many months. Discard if you detect a sulphur smell upon opening or any fuzzy mould growth. White powdery specks is ok - it is a form of yeast that is not harmful. You can scrap off that layer & still consume. Feel free to PM any queries you might have. Petrina Xx PS - Love ya Guts!!

18.01.2022 The cabbages are fresh & crisp. The car is packed. The show is a sell out. We are overbooked by an extra 6 people than I was originally aiming for - I am blown away by the response & so overwhelmed with joy to be sharing this session. ... I AM SO EXCITED TO MEET & RECONNECT WITH A BUNCH OF FABULOUS FERMENTERS TOMORROW at a wonderful Chop & Share session at Gindie. Its going to be a HOOT! Sweet dream friends! Ps - if you missed this one I have launched another class on Friday 28th August at 5.30pm in Emerald & on Sunday 6th September at 10.30am in Clermont. Tickets on eventbrite.

13.01.2022 Good Morning Fermenting Friends, If anyone is chasing some cabbages this weekend, Fair Dinkum Fresh is doing a 3 for $5 special. Wow!!

13.01.2022 Oooo YUM!!! I played with a new combo this week. Im calling it GREEN FUSION.... Its green & wombok cabbage, spinach, kale, coriander, lemongrass, galangal, ginger, garlic, chilli & green mango. Its absolutely delicious!!!! Ill have a dozen jars of this flavour, along with: Beetroot, Fennel & Dill Amandas Special (cabbage & salt only) The ever Popular - Curry Red - Radish, onion & caraway All available at Amanda Mullemeisters Gut Health Seminar in Clermont tomorrow from 9am - 12.30pm. Cant wait to share space with all the beautiful Clermont Gut Lovers!!!

12.01.2022 Its taken a couple of days to step down off the cloud of excitement after a sell out (overbooked in fact) Chop & Share class in Gindie on Sunday. We had a absolutely beautiful group of ladies all interested in Fermented Food, Gut Health and Building Connections. The day went superbly (minus a small salt supply issue that was quickly rectified by the amazing Kirstin Fiona). Everyone took home a lovely variety of Curry, Thai & Beetroot Sauerkrauts to nurture over the coming... weeks. We also shared some absolutely beautiful gifts with each other of our time and quality conversations. Our shared lunch was most certainly a highlight as well. I am bursting with pride and overwhelming gratitude for the way the class was received and I just cant wait to share this class with the other upcoming sessions and private groups that are booked. I am eagerly working on a few more dates as well and am finding I am selling out each batch of kraut before I even get to list it for sale. It would appear this magic cabbage (as a loyal customer calls it) has won over a few hearts. I love creating & sharing equally and look forward to all that the next chapter of The Ferment Chop Shop might hold. I have created this private group (thanks for the inspiration Claudette Rolfe), if you have attended this most recent class, or an earlier Chop & Share Day, I invite you into this private group, where we can share our bubbling goodness adventures, I will share pictures of my fav ingredients that I used in the workshop and my creations, you are welcome to share your experiments and ask questions, and I can keep you posted when there are other events and when the Kraut Pounders arrive. I am very much looking forward to sharing space with the incredible Amanda Mullemeister this Saturday in Clermont at her Gut Health Seminar. If you havent already got your ticket, I would suggest you move quickly because this class will be well worth your time. Again - From the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU!!!

12.01.2022 Not long now Clermont! Getting excited!!! To add to the excitement I have had a very dear friend purchase 3 tickets as a way of supporting my little project, with the intent to "Pay it Forward". So I have 3 lucky spots available to gift to someone for this Sunday. So, if you are coming along already and want to bring a friend - Reach out ASAP. Or if you were on the fence about whether to come - This is an opportunity just for you. Kindness breeds kindness. What an awesome gift! Who will put their hand up. Send me a PM to grab one of these special spots.

12.01.2022 Gosh I love side-kicking with Amanda Mullemiester. Another wonderful Gut Health seminar in Blackwater this time. Thanks for having us!!! It’s not a drive to Blackwater without saying hi to the Minions. ... Emerald next Saturday 6th Feb. It’s a sell out. Can’t wait!!!

10.01.2022 EDIT: Only 1 place left for next Sunday so if you are on the fence about coming (not Saturday like I wrote in my last post....Oops), dont leave it too long, or you might miss out on this one. Clermont is on Sunday 6th September and stay tuned for other dates coming soon! Hands On in 7 DAYS.... Who hasnt got their ticket yet for next Sunday? ... Emerald Peeps - Did you know Gindie Tennis Club is an easy 15 minute drive from Emerald? Let me know if you want me to connect you with someone else who is coming so you can car pool.

09.01.2022 I met Brooke from Ornabellas in Clermont recently. What a gem she is!! People often ask me about Kombucha. I have shared many many SCOBYs over the years. ... I have made it on & off for at least 7 years. Im off making it at the moment - Im running my Busy story at the moment. Turning out 100 jars of kraut a week is kind of consuming. So heres a great little story about Buch and a recommendation from the knowledgeable Brooke on a ready made Kombucha that might also interest my followers. Ornabellas is in Clermont if you need to pop in to see Brooke for some additional Gut Health advice.

09.01.2022 Very happy to confirm the class this Sunday 1st November is running at the Emerald Little Theatre. Those who have booked already, you'll get a confirmation email a couple days prior. If you haven't booked yet & would like to come along, link is in the comments. Can't wait to Chop & Share with another beautiful group!! ... I normally decide on the flavours that we are making based on what is looking super fresh and perfectly seasonal when I hit Pia's & Fair Dinkum Fresh on Friday. If you have come along to this class before and have a specific flavour you'd like to request we make, shoot me a PM. And depending on final numbers, we will be making anywhere from 3-5 different flavours, so you'll be taking home a beautiful range of goodies!! https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/emerald-sauerkraut-chop-and

07.01.2022 I was incredibly humbled once again by the invitation to attend as a colleague of Amanda Mullemeister to share space with all of our fellow Gut Lovers in Clermont yesterday.

I cant wait to work with you some more! The beautiful attendees - I was absolutely chuffed with your response to my Sauerkraut creations yesterday. If there is anyone wanting a restock, shoot me a message & I can bring over on the 6th September when Im back again. Better still - book a spot at my Chop & Share class. This is where my passion lies & I would love to empower as many people about how to make your own fermented vegetables for your Guts benefit.

03.01.2022 Colleagues & Friends Nothing beats a spontaneous dinner with friends. In our overly Connected world that we live in, it sometimes feels like we are often disconnected. Zoom is our new norm. But the electricity that generates when you actually connect in person with people can never be beaten!!! The importance of finding your tribe is hot topic and sadly sometimes only dreamt about but when it is actually realised.... thats when the authentic glowing happens! ... Thanks beautiful friends & colleagues for entertaining my last minute dinner idea. It was a hoot! Who could you connect with to get your glow on again in our funny old world? #HealthCollective

02.01.2022 My beautiful Chop & Share friends from yesterday, I have sent you an email. Let me know if you dont receive it.
